WASHINGTON - The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), a commercial contracting organization, applauded the Small Business Administration (SBA) for withdrawing its March 19, 2004, proposed rule to restructure small-business size standards.
"The rule would have caused thousands of small contracting firms to lose their small-business size eligibility," said Stephen E. Sandherr, AGC chief executive officer. "We are pleased that SBA has heeded our warning about the harm this proposal would have had."
